Re: Dracena draco
Thanks to David and Dan for the informative and not *totally*
discouraging replies. Sounds as though it would clearly be marginal in
the ground here but might be worth a try... (Celia says the whole
damned garden is now marginal and sooner or later, come some seriously
cold snap, we shall wake up to a jardin des morts. She could have a
point.)
Does anyone know, BTW, whether this is the sort of creature that
becomes hardier as it gets older - ie, when it has made more mature
wood? And if so, what sort of age and size does it need to have
reached to have got that extra bit of toughness (perhaps the *vital*
bit, in a situation such as mine - or perhaps, even, a situation such
as Margaret's).
And (discountenance the gods at your peril...) we had our first
(minimal) frost of the winter last night, and are forecast to have a
(distinctly harder) second tonight.
